[chelseafcaremint]

[gunslinga19]

This song has aged great, pity that the video hasn't. Classic 90's - too recent to b cool lol

[TheMrLiamB]

[Jefferies1903]

Such a great song

[panniize]

Psychedelia.

[Veggie449]

Graham also wears his watch backward? :D

I thought I was alone ^^

[JiffySpook]

This song was the flower that grew out of a pot of dirt for popular music in 96-97.

[franzchick66]

It's a shame not alot of people (in US) know about this beautiful song. I will in all my power put it in my next major motion picture.Use it in a sex scene or something because graham's opening riff is so raw and lusty, it will blow the audience away.

[tj203]

@franzchick66 You do know this is a sound about smoking Heroin, right? The Heroin takes the form of a beetle when smoking it while it's on a piece of tin-foil.

[kyle1m]

81 Blundell Street, Islington N7, UK on Google maps and you'll find the end of this video.

[carouselambra7]

and after 13 years Damon Albarn has STILL got it

[anesthesiac]

[MrRedjon611]

@mickycee64 every band

[nk801]

Oh yeah @ freesaladsauce - I had forgotten about that! Brings back memories...

[eugenerocks11]

[kyle1m]

@eugenerocks11 Chasing the Dragon....

[eugenerocks11]

@kyle1m that doesn't really tell me anything...but still an awesome song!

[kurizutian]

i wish i was the bass

[aconner2]

[nk801]

Oh the irony! At 1:44 VEVO pixelating Dave drinking Coca Cola when they are media wh*res, advertising left, right and centre. YOU SUCK VEVO!! :O

[freesaladsauce]

@nk801

True about VEVO but the blurry effect was already in the original video when it was released back then.

[jEsUsOfSuRbUrBiA]

i got a free cd wen i went to a fayre at my uni, an this song was on it.

id never heard it before.

[strokesgurl264]

BLUR 4 LIFE DOWN WITH OASIS

[convictedSTONNER]

@claysadventures "Down with oasis"....lol thats such an invalid commet you spanner!!

[modewr]

what is the song about?

[fleetwoodoasiscsn]

@modewr beetles bums

[modewr]

@fleetwoodoasiscsn : I need to read the lyrics to this.

[paddywannabanjo]

@modewr his girlfriend on drugs appearantly

[modewr]

@paddywannabanjo : Who was his girlfriend? Is he married now?

[runnikkie]

@modewr This was written about Damon's ex Justine Frischmann, who was the frontwoman of Elastica. Very tumultuous relationship apparently...

[MrJbird91]

@runnikkie it's about freebasing opium.

[runnikkie]

@MrJbird91 it's supposedly about his ex-girlfriend and her battle with drugs (heroin) and how it affected him.

[daft3ndir3kt]

@modewr

Beetlebum is a person who basically can have everything, but because of drug use/idleness, gets nothing. I'm not 100% on the meaning of the song since it's unclear whether she is the problem or he is.

[TheGaliga]

@daft3ndir3kt when u smoke heroin on aluminium foil it turns into a little brown blob. the slang for that blob is "beettle".....well thats wot i think it refers to..

[MrRedjon611]

@TheGaliga you know it

[nationwidejazzman95]

naughty alex :P

[mrsvend3245]

GUITARIST=McLOVIN

[Dem640]

sounds like 2d from gorillaz.. hmm... suspition XD

[MoonlightShadowlolz]

@Dem640 he is, you are way behind

[Dem640]

@MoonlightShadowlolz oh my fucking god you're dumb....

[MoonlightShadowlolz]

@Dem640 well I don't know who is the dumb one here but Damon Albarn is 2D from Gorillaz. Maybe you were being sarcastic with your comment

[Dem640]

@MoonlightShadowlolz yes, sarcasm

[MoonlightShadowlolz]

@Dem640 cool bro

[PeanutJ14]

@Dem640 hahahaha at everyone not understanding your sarcasm and calling you dumb :)

[Dem640]

@PeanutJ14 AH HA! YES!

[kiketronix]

wow.. and they made that extreme zoom out before there was google earth or video copilot tutorials.

[claysadventures]

i love this song so much it sounds amazing (FAVOURITES)

[razzlefrazzleface]

I <3 BLUR!!! Damon Albarn and Graham Coxon have to be 2 of my fave musicians ever

[chendomaniaco10]

Blur is my favorite band

and my favorite second is Gorillaz

:D

[zoemad]

@christine140374  yeah!!! :D

[BlueJelly23]

nothing against blur but i like gorillaz better

[MrRayjayjay]

beetlebum(blur cover)-coach-house, type it in its pretty good. 

[MrRayjayjay]

look up beetlebum(bur cover)-coach-house for a good cover of this.x

[EntertainedByPrem]

Damon and Liam Gallagher hang out together - the britpop thing finished yonks ago

[EntertainedByPrem]

@blueroomexit Or she left him

[ItsSomeDeadGuy]

On the topic of Blur vs. Oasis, I like both just fine, but I don't think anything in Oasis's catalog can compete with this song.

[LSO92]

@ItsSomeDeadGuy That's because Oasis never had any desire to emulate Nirvana.

Nonetheless, it's a great song.

[OpenedCanOfWhoopAss]

I like Blur AND Oasis. Just chill everyone.

[Shanklyboyz]

This is a very psychedelic song....a I blaaaady love it.

[docnom]

Blur Was The BEST better than Oasis

[jackofwack]

th1s sounds horribul! any ov you guys herd of justin biber? hes wel gud

[Rasako]

@jackofwack lol

[KingStefou]

@jackofwack

Hah I hope that was a fucking joke :D FUCKING ROFLMFAO

[makerwidow]

@jackofwack are u serious

[ozena52]

@makerwidow No, he's trolling. Don't encourage him.

[jackofwack]

@ozena52

wut you talking aboutt!! you mums a troll!!

[fantaXDaddict]

@jackofwack chyeah whatever speak in standard english before you bullshit. even if you are joking, it's not even funny

[IgpayAtinlayUlesray]

@jackofwack u c th3 dfrns tween jb fans and blr fans iz tha we type properly instead of the barely comprehendible shit you write

[livy231194]

I think you can be an oasis and blur fan :)

[kingraisin]

@livy231194 that's exactly what i was just thinking! lol!

[livy231194]

@kingraisin I know ive grown up listning to both, blissfully unaware of the whole argument and then BAM their rivals it foolish their both good bands in their own right )

[kingraisin]

@livy231194 very true- if we enjoy listening to both bands, we shouldn't let politics get in the way of our enjoyment! music is a free art form, and to take sides is a little too high school-drama if you ask me! :)

[PoisonTea4u]

@livy231194

No, physically impossible.

[scottistrad]

@livy231194 You can, but you have to acknowledge that blur is better ;)

[MrRedjon611]

no way

[theresistanification]

a classic tune! i have this stuck in my head now! i just love a bit of classic blur!

[13RevengeIsSweet]

i wish damon still looked like that .. he was so hot.. now he just let himself go!! idc i LOVE his voice so much^^!! to bad hes f..ing up gorillaz.. gorillaz new albumn is so sh....

[Stormyweld05]

@13RevengeIsSweet - I think it's called "getting older" rather than letting himself go. It was 13 years ago after all. :)

[13RevengeIsSweet]

@Stormyweld05 That maybe so Stormy that maybe so.. but that doesnt mean he cant sharpen up a bit :)

[Stormyweld05]

@13RevengeIsSweet - Fair point.

[Themoreruler]

the best blur song!

[jeffypop11]

I wish that all Blur and Oasis fans could get together and start a campaign to have the Spice Girls indicted for crimes against humanity!

[Chloeepa]

i love him XD

[jasonfan198]

oasis and blur are those bands that kids just dont know about because of all the pop crap

[FollowMyWay]

This was the theme song of my life two years ago... I still love it but it brings back dark memories

[NoLeafxClover8]

damn, that's a gorgeous man.

[TheBeck666]

reminds me off someone XD

[AverageJoe117]

How gay is it that they have to edit out him smoking? people are such fags now. "oh it will make kids want to smoke" bollocks to that. good song :)

[xxLoSeRxx101]

I WISH I WAS THAT MICROPHONE!!

[jebakia]

@xxLoSeRxx101 Damon does have that cool way about him...Yes I have man love for him.Dude is bad

[0ri0ninh3ll]

@xxLoSeRxx101 It's all yours . Now I don't like this video , thanks .

[mulholland73]

@xxLoSeRxx101

I wish I was that Telecaster ^_^

[MrTomZombie]

@mulholland73 fail.... its a fender duo sonic... xD

[mulholland73]

@MrTomZombie Damn you're right.

[lucamorellato]

@MrTomZombie Actually it's a Fender MusicMaster, with a second pick up added, closer to where the middle pick up would be on a strat... A duo sonic has one pickup right up close to bridge, and another near neck, this has neck and middle.

[abnerunintended]

@xxLoSeRxx101

im a dude but yeah me too! LMAO

[xxLoSeRxx101]

@abnerunintended lol its doesnt matter wat gender you are, damon just has this strange effect on both genders ;) :P HAHAHA!

[abnerunintended]

@xxLoSeRxx101 this is true damn that man ! lol

[flongobongo]

She'll suck your thumb, she'll make you come

[Mackerni]

Does anyone else get high off of this song?

[priscilla87mx]

amazing video

[streek0]

heroin.

[SonofRotten13]

i luv blur

[decgar07]

Oasis have some great songs but for me Blur are on the whole better. Beetlebum is their crowning glory.

[msblurgirl]

@amyohead the songs actually about his heroine experiences with justine frischmann (who I respect as much as Damon) he's said it in interviews, it's on wikipedia and it's one of the reasons thy broke up. He couldn't handle it and she felt he was selling out on it.

[TheHappydead]

Oasis are so dull compared to Blur. boring cliched lyrically and musically, meaningless lad rock.................... Blur are cool as fuck

[Sm3gH3adx]

censored beer and cigarettes ? wonder if its intentional

[Insan33333]

@Sm3gH3adx no you see now the cameras censour it by default -.-'

[dudleythehobo]

imma kill myself if i see another shaun white commercial.

[dudleythehobo]

blur is so much better than oaisis!

[msblurgirl]

What a brilliant song about a brilliant woman by a brilliant man. It's a shame it's all over now.:(

[amyohead]

@msblurgirl: the song isn't about a woman..it's about heroin

[ThatScottishGuy101]

@amyohead actually its about him and woman... on heroin

[Krogmaga56]

@amyohead

LAFF it's about both :D

[paulisdeadiburiedhim]

damon is good even if he looks like a bit of a twat

[NerdyGlasses347]

I'm a fan of oasis.

But I like beetlebum and song2.

[NayrNitsuj]

@NerdyGlasses347 ~ What does that mean? Are you suggesting to like Oasis restricts you, for the most part, of liking certain other bands?

[NerdyGlasses347]

@NayrNitsuj

I don't dislike blur particularly.

But I'm too not interested in songs of blur made in the days of Cool Britania.

I only like beetlebum.

I don't compare it with oasis.

Cool britania is kidding!

[davesmith7891]

@NerdyGlasses347

Thanks. That's very charitable of you.

[streek0]

@NerdyGlasses347 fuck oaisis limey

[SuperhelterYNWA]

@NerdyGlasses347 Im a fan of Oasis too but I absolutely love Blur... More variety to their songs also, Albarn is a genius!

[NerdyGlasses347]

@SuperhelterYNWA

If anything, I like graham.

[HotBlueLightning]

@NerdyGlasses347 stepping out of the box?

[Rasabihariji]

@NerdyGlasses347

this is Noel Gallaghers fav BLUR song. he said he got mad when he heard it cus it was that good.
